Musa Na Allah Sokoto
The Comptroller of Customs Sokoto Area Command, Musa Omale has charged Officers and Men stationed at the Border with the Niger Republic, not the lower guard, and ensure that activities at the border are fearlessly monitored.
Comptroller Omale gave the warning Thursday while touring the Nigeria/Niger border at Illela Sokoto state.
He said he was at the Illela border to see the level of compliance by the officers and men of the area command stationed at the entry point.
According to him, the closure of the frontier between the two neighboring countries was a sequel to the Federal Government directives on the closure of all Border Stations with the Niger Republic as a result of the Coup d’etat by the Niger Military Junta,
“Today’s tour is a follow up to the Comptroller General of Customs visit to ensure full-scale compliance and to further serve as a morale booster to the officers and men of the Command”
“Since the closure, the Command has continued to leverage intelligence to record several interceptions.
“I am impressed with the additional layers of Enforcement put in place”.
“I also want to thank other sister Security Agencies for cooperating to enforce compliance.
“I implore you all to keep the tempo.
“Let me also extend my appreciation to the Stakeholders, Importers, Exporters, Agents, and Illela border Community for their patience and adherence to the closure.
“I urge you to exercise more patience as we hope for a quick amicable resolution to the present crises.”
